3.7: Limiting Reactants

Experiment 5: Stoichiometry IntroductionThis experiment provides an example of the calculations of limiting reactant stoichiometry and percent yield. You will use laboratory techniques to determine the theoretical yield of a product, which is the maximum mass of product that could be made from the reactant amounts. The result of this calculation depends on which reactant will be consumed first as the reaction progresses, known as the limiting reactant. After performing the reaction and collectin
